Although I love the tower section of the building, I am a little worried about the podium. I found it really massive and boxy...

@Froggy It is, but it will at least feel like something that is appropriately scaled for downtown, something that has been lacking in the 104 Ave. area for some time.

JW Marriott it is.

It actually looks better in the last picture posted by @Hilman. And you're right, it has a real downtown feeling, which is good here.

I guess this will only be their second J.W. Marriott in Canada.

JW MARRIOTT EDMONTON TO BE ICE DISTRICT’S FIRST LUXURY HOTEL
January 13, 2016
Global Hospitality Brand Continues to Redefine Luxury with First Alberta Hotel

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – January 13, 2016 – Marriott International (NASDAQ: MAR) and ICE District Properties Joint Venture announced today that the JW Marriott Edmonton, representing one of the company’s iconic brands and part of its luxury and lifestyle portfolio, will be ICE District’s first luxury hotel. Expected to open in late 2018, and located in the heart of Canada’s largest mixed-use sports and entertainment district, the property is one of the most significant hotel developments in Edmonton in more than three decades. The JW Marriott Edmonton was chosen to replace the former Delta Hotel when Marriott International acquired Delta Hotels and Resorts in 2015.

“The new JW Marriott property will provide guests with enriching luxury in the heart of downtown Edmonton,” said Don Cleary, President, Marriott Hotels of Canada. “As the largest hotelier in Canada, the opening of JW Marriott Edmonton in ICE District speaks to our continued commitment to providing choices to Canadian customers and the confidence we have in the success of this incredible venture. The hotel will perfectly compliment Edmonton’s evolving downtown and tourist landscape. Marriott is proud to work with ICE District to bring the JW Marriott brand’s stellar service and unsurpassed guest experiences to this market.”
